Startling the Criminal Element.

At last there i some chance OF 4
little light being officially and con-
clusively let in upon the. dark ways.
BY accident rather than good man
agement, we happen just now 10
have q Grand Jury on which there
are two or three or more courageous
and honest men, who are bent upon
bringing home proofs against the
guilty. That they viii succeed Is
the hope of every good citizen.
They have thoroughly aroused pub
lie attention. and that Is much.
They have. it Is believed. captured
documents full Of suggestive, if not
legal. proof. One Of the criminals
has turned States witness. and the
air Is full Of rumOrs Of further and
other developments. The Grand
Jury being a secret body. ii Is. Of
course. not possible at present TO
verify how much Of truth there is
in the many stories afioat. Its GER
tain. however. that very startling
disclosures have been made 10 the
Jury. and very important corrobora-
- testimony obtained. Every de
cent citizen, whe desires good gov

ton of the law, viii wish the ag-
gresSive movements Of the Grand
Jury GOdspeed. Observing men

ominous fact that the Grand Jury
has 80 far felt constrained 10 dis
pense with the service Of the regu-
lar officials. and when their foreman
was asSailed with a writ Of replevin,
they thought ii wise TO have him
represented by private counsel.
Notwithstanding all this caution. it
o. feared that their best efforts may
have been defeated by the official
class. The important documents
captured By means Of the search
warrant were seized by the Sherifffs
officers. and were in their possession
all one night, and it Is known that
those documents were suggestively
examined by certain police officials,
who are no better than they ought
TO be, and whether any important
papers were extracted may perhaps
never be known. The work the

The Minnesota Corn Crop,

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The crop report
of the department of agriculture just is
sued gives the following predictions re-
garding the corn crop of Minnesota:
SIN Anoka the chinch bugs have done
considerable damage. In Dodge the crop
is above the average. In Fillmore it looks
well; also in Goodhue. In Murray it is
growing fast. In Stearns the drought has
killed large part. In Chippewa it has
been injured by drought and cut worms.
Clay has been injured by frost. Kanabec
will be short owing to drought Kandi
yohi has been damaged by cut worms but
looks well. Tower is in good condition.
Otter Tail county has been damaged by
cold winds and heavy frosts. Pipestone is
in good condition. In Redwood the cut
the crop looks we'll. Winona is above the
average Nicollet will make nearly an av-
erage crop. In Grow Wing the recent
rains have improved the condition. Doug
lass has been improved by rains. In Hen
nepln the recent rains have improved the
condition. Lac-Oui-Parle is very poor. In
Wabasha the early planted crops are
above average condition. In Lyon the cut
worms have destroyed about one-third of
the. crop" The report gives the fol-
lowing estimate as to the con-
dition Of the Minnesota crop, making the
yields of last year on a basis of 100: "COrn,
1922 wheat rs, oats II, barley TO- rye so,
potatoes 102, sweet potatoes 101, beans 101,
sorghum SO, wool 102, clover 79, timothy II,

Stanley Reported Dead.

LONDON, July 21.-The st. Thomas West
Africa company has received report stat
ing that Henry NJ. Stanley was shot dead
while fighting the natives in an effort to
obtain supplies. Another report is to the
effect that the steamer with the Stanley
party on board was sunk and that the ex-
plorer lost his life by drowning. This last
report comes from missionary at place
called Matadi, who says he received it
from native from up country. The ru-
NOR regarding the death of Stanley is ut
terly discredited here. Sir Henry Thirston
Holland, secretary of state for the colonies,
stated in the commons this afternoon that
the government had no information about
the reported death of Henry NJ. Stanley.

The St. Anthony Elevator.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 2O.-Vice President
Frank H. Peavy of the st. Anthony Ele-
vator company sent the following state
ment this afternoon: AT meeting of the
directors of the st. Anthony Elevator
company to-day it was decided to rebuild
at once and possibly increase the capacity
to 100000 bushels. The builder Mr. j. T.
Moulton was ordered to come here at once
to commence work. The salvage in the
whent is figured all the way from 100000
to $4,000. Several commission men Of
fered 100000 for the salvage which was
refused. 1t is roughly approximated that
there were 100000 bushels in store, of
which 100000 bushels are total loss. The
remaining 100000 is valued at one-half the
market value of "A cents or 81 cents per
bushel. At this rate salvage would amount
to S185OOO

Death of Charles A. DeGrafYe.

ST. PAUL, July 20.-Chas. A. DeGraffe,
the well know stock breeder and railroad
contractor, died this morning about 2 o'clock
of malignant cancer of the stomach. He
has been confined to his room at the Mer-
chants hotel for nearly three months. In
1858, he commenced the construction of the
Winona & St. Peter railroad, which, after
some delay, was finally completed to the
western boundary of Minnesota and into
Dakota. In 1859 he completed the road be-
tween Minneapolis and Breckenridge, then
called the St. Paul & Pacific, and now op-
Grated by the Manitoba. It was during
this year that he started his famous stock
farm at GAINESVILLE, Minn., justly celebrated
as the finest stock farm in the state. There
are now at the Elysian farm over $50 of the
finest fancy cattle and among them the
Aldernies which have taken several prizes
at different state fairs. Among his studs
are the celebrated Alexander and also En-
pire Wilkes, sired by George Wilkes In
1871 he began construction of road be-
tween st. Cloud and st. Vincent and also
between Sauk Rapids and Brainerd, which
work ne was obliged to discontinue on ac-
count of the great failure of Jay Cooke S
Co. of Philadelphia. For eighteen years he
has been associated with Col. William
Crooks In railroad construction.

FAYETTEVILLE, July 19.-The president
and party were driven here from Casenovia
to-day and held public reception in the
park. At l o'clock not more than 1000 of
those present had shaken the presidents
hand and as it seemed impossible to greet
them all personally he made short speech
substantially as follows:
MY FRIENDS: see that it is impossible
in the short space allotted to shake all by
the hand and I am unwilling TO leave you
without giving some recognition to all. l
am unchanged to-day as far as my feelings
are concerned toward the people of Fay
etteville and it is with extreme gratitude
place above all others dear to me at the
present time. 1t was here that enjoyed
every pleasure, sport and pastime of my
bOyhOOd. l must recall to your minds the
changes since forty years ago. Very many
of the friends of that time are dead. was
reminded to-day of the number of deaths.

aStOnished. Among those who are gone
whom can recall are Mr.. Cobb, Mr.. Par

Palmers, Edwards, Mobiles, Hurds, Flints
and many others. There are other things
of my boyhood beside the deaths. I re-
member Green lake. and the fish tried to
catch and never caught and which sup
pose are there to-day. Yes, and remem-
Der the story of the panther seen on the
shore and how scared l was. But have
heard so much bowling for the past two
years that | do not think the panther
would frighten me now. l could tell some
of the old residents of Fayetteville whose
front gates took off forty years ago. 1
mention this thing as since have been in
Washington l have been accused of so
many crimes that taking off gate seems
to me almost virtue. receiVsd my first
rudlments of education in Fayetteville, and
these, with the Sunday school and religious
influence are all brought back fresh to nv
mind. All of these remembrances have
gone with me through every station of life.
It is a pleasure to recall in retrospection
Fayetteville. for those days so many years
ago are the fairest and pleasantest memor-
les that my mind dwells upon. I have
been bad truant, but ask you to keep
an eye on me. I promise to perform my
duties so as to receive the appreciation of
the people of Fayetteville, my oldest and
best friends.

A GOOD LAW.
One of the Few Good Laws Passed
By the Recent Legisla-
ture.
The Dakota Bureau Of Pension AL
ready Doing Good Work
For Soldiers. ..
The Governors Efforts.

Section 20 of the new militia law pro.
evides for the creation of bureau of pen
sions to be conducted by the adjutant gen
eral of the territory, provided the governor
approved of the same. This bureau is for
the purpose of assisting ex-soldiers or SAIL
ors, residents of the territory, who may ap-
ply or have applied for pensions for
wounds or disability incurred in the SER
vice OF the United States. in establishing
their claims, without fee or commissions,
Governor Church while at Jamestown dur
ing the Grand Army of the Republic en-
campment in March, not only gave his con-
sent but directed the adjutant general to
Immediately establish this bureau and to
prosecute all honorable claims presented
by ex-union soldiers. The very first COM
pletion of claim under these instructions
has resulted successfully, and it was very
doubtful claim at that. Alfred Small of
company K, Illinois cavalry lost an eve
while an orderly at General Howard's
headquarters in the march to the sea. He
had been sent back to pilot the headauar-
ter train into camp near station No. 10,
while a skirmish was in progress. His
only companion was bugler of his COM
pany, who lost his life. Some flying mis-
sile destroyed Private Smalps eye, but
there were no witnesses who saw the accl-
dent. A claim agent filed the claim
for Smalls pension in 1865, but it
was suspended or hung up for want of ev-
idence. During all these years Private
Small has sought through his agent. his
captain and others to secure the first claim,
but the absence of witnesses defeated the
claim. Adjutant General Tyner, following
the governors instructions, commenced
work on it about ninety days ago, rear
ranging such evidence as was furnished,
and clearly proved SmalPs sound condition,
when he left General HOward's headouar-
ters and his condition when found prose-
cutting his work under the official authority
Of the adjutant generals office of Dakota.
Ten days ago Commissioner Black granted
the claim and issued pension No. 364. .O42 at
81 per month from July 16, Is IS, to August
26, 1885, and thereafter at $8 per MONTH
total pension s1,160-wbich comes as
Wlndfall to very poor and deserving
soldier. Minnesota is the only state that
has collected pensions for its ex-soldiers,
though Others authorize it, and this first
claim secured by Dakota proves that the
bureau or pensions was created for some
purpose. Several other knOtty claims have
been filed, which will be secured in time.
The old soldiers in the territory have rea-
son to thank Governor Church for his in
terest in this work, and any old soldier
having an unpaid honorable claim, by pre-
senting the facts to the adjutant GENERALS
office will receive help free of charge The
commissioner of pensions, General Black,
a wounded ex-unlon soldier himself, is re-
ported as anxious to hasten any just claims
pending before his department, and his ac-
ton in the above case clearly proves it. j Is

A Pleasure Party,

CHICAGO, July 19.-There arrived at the
Hotel Richelieu this morning, as guests Of
the proprietor, a party of southern ladies,
several of them being bellies at Washing
ton last season. At las o'clock the visitors
and their Chicago friends started for Wau-
kesha on special train provided for the
occasion by the Wisconsin Central. The
intention was to "do" this famous watering
place rapidly, so as to be able to take the
regular train in the evening for Lake Min
netonka. The excursion will be made to
st. Paul and Minneapolis, White Bear
Lake and Fort Smelling, and with balls,
receptions and parties It is not doubted but
the occasion will be pleasurable. The st.
Paul. Minneapolis & Manitoba railway has
placed at the disposal of the visitors a
steamer on Lake Minnetonka, and the
Minneapolis boat club will give regatta
in their honor.

THE $500" CANAL.
Steps Taken Looking to a Special Ap.
preparation For Improving
the Canal.
From 1900 to 5000 Representative
Business Men in Attendance to
Urge Measures.
A Harvest For Hotels,

SAULT STE. MARIE, MICH, July 20.-The
at 10 O'clock this morning by Tempo
rary Chairman w. H. Phelps, secretary of
the Duluth board of trade. His address
detailed the feeling among those inter-
ested in the commerce Of the great lakes
concerning the inadequacy of the canal in
the event of the extension of the lake COM
merce, which was soon to become too
great for the canals present capacity. He
expressed hope of great things as result
of this meeting. Senator Palmer of De-
troit was chosen permanent president, and
congressman Chapman, Whiting, Romeis
and Senator Seymour being among the list
of vice presidents. George T. Ely of
Cleveland was chosen chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee. After Senator Palmer
had made short address resolutions were
presented reciting the national interests
involved and the large amount of money
required for the proposed works, making
them so exceptional as to require that they,
be taken from the general river and harbor
bill and be dealt with by a special bill, ap-
propriating the whole sum estimated as
required, to be held subject to draft of
the secretary of war. Michigan's con-
gressmen were requested to nse their best
endeavors to get the aid of the represent
atives of the states to help them out. The
convention will probably get through with
it's work tomorrow. Taxing advantage of
the rush, the hotels have advanced rates
heavily. The crowd of transients in the
town IS variously estimated at from 1,500
to 5000.
Each part represented was given repre-
sentation upon the varions committees.
The following were representative for
